Usability Iceberg

The look and feel of a website is only the tip of the iceberg. It's the underlying organization and functionality that determines whether the website is usable.

Even marketing websites need to consider the user experience. It's not just about design, it's about what folks will want to do on your website and your ability to satisfy that need that will set you apart from your competitors.

Your website should be more than a brochure. It should help increase productivity and boost sales, while lowering training and development costs. In short, your website should help you work smarter.
